So last night I finished the first chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring. So this means I got to see Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday, although it appeared to be more of Bilbo’s celebrations. And then his little "joke" and Gandalf’s getting him to leave the ring behind before he disappeared. We also get to see the power of the ring, with Bilbo calling it his precious. Foreshadowing!!!
Oh, look. It’s in my pocket again! Bet you didn’t think that was going to happen?
I did find the description of every single type of firework to be a little boring, did we really need to know every type Gandalf shot off? With graphic descriptions of colour and shape? I get it, his fireworks are great. So great that he is famous for them, even though no living Hobbit has ever seen them. Even for Tolkein this was wordy. It made what is essentially a page and a half, feel two times longer.
Skip ahead a bit, Brother Tolkein.
The scenes with Frodo trying to sort out the inheritance were enjoyable. Clearly Tolkein was working through some issues or things that he had seen. We also get our first glance at Merry and Sam.
So not too bad. Until tomorrow fellow readers.
